Job description

This is an onsite in person role. Only candidates who are able to commute to our offices in Eagle, ID will be considered.

Are you a scrappy, hands-on marketer who would rather build the page than brief someone else to build it? Are you technical enough to update the page, wire up the form, and pull your own data? Can you put AI to work, to deliver results faster, while owning the output? Are you also the person who won't let a typo in a subject line out the door? Do you believe that pixels matter? Do you want an entrepreneurial environment that is flexible, fast, and focused on results? If so, we might have the perfect opportunity for you.

Crelate, a growing startup with over 1,500 customers, is hiring an SEO & Marketing Programs Specialist. This is hands-on, last-mile execution: you will own outcomes, not slide decks, and have work live in your first month.

Crelate's mission is to help more people connect with better opportunities, more often. We are building the fastest, easiest, most flexible recruiting and talent engagement software on the market, and we need your help getting the word out.

Role Summary:

The SEO & Marketing Programs Specialist is a scrappy, last-mile execution role focused on two engines that grow inbound: refreshing and expanding our organic content/SEO footprint, and executing our sponsorship and co-marketing programs. Working closely with the Director of Marketing, you'll do the work directly: updating and optimizing pages, producing content, working in the HTML and the automation when that's what it takes to ship, and delivering on partnership commitments. This is a builder's role for someone who likes to own execution end to end and see the results in rankings, traffic, and program deliverables.

Key Responsibilities:

SEO & content renewal:

Renew and optimize our ranked back‑catalog (~600 pages): update the valuable pages, prune and de‑index the dead ones, and get our ~150 podcast pages ranking, using SEMrush, Google Search Console, and AI tooling.

1. Maintain the SEO master plan: identify the pages to update, track status, and report on rankings and organic traffic.
2. Produce net‑new, SEO/AEO-optimized content and on‑page improvements that grow organic pipeline, and optimize pages for AI/answer-engine (AEO) visibility.

Sponsorships & co-marketing:

Execute our sponsorship and industry‑association programs (NAPS and state chapters, AESC, TechServe, NPAWorldWide, SRA, Pinnacle, and others): memberships, deliverables, and renewals.

1. Deliver on co‑marketing commitments: webinars, newsletter and email placements, website mentions, and press releases.
2. Coordinate sponsorship webinars end to end (promotion, registration, and follow‑up) in support of lead‑generation goals, and track spend, deliverables, and results against the plan.
3. Keep the marketing master plan and content/sponsorship calendars current, and support integration‑partner backlink outreach.

Build the mechanics yourself (page HTML/CSS, no‑code integrations, your own data pulls) rather than waiting in an engineering queue.

Hold the brand bar on everything that ships: polished, approachable, premium.

Skills & Experience:

• 2+ years of actual business experience in marketing (content/SEO, digital, or programs/field marketing), ideally at a B2B SaaS or services company.
• Strong AI skills: Put AI to work to accelerate time to value and the impact you can have, while being 100% responsible for output.
• Hands‑on SEO skills: comfortable with SEMrush (or Ahrefs), Google Search Console, and on‑page optimization, and using AI tools to work at volume.
• Strong writer and editor who can refresh and produce content that both ranks and reads well.
• Organized program executor who can juggle memberships, deliverables, and deadlines across multiple partners.
• Comfortable in HubSpot and WordPress/Elementor, plus marketing and analytics tools.
• Detail‑oriented, proactive, and collaborative, able to take strategy set by others and run with it independently.
• Technical: comfortable in HTML/CSS, no‑code integrations, and pulling your own data.
• Detail‑obsessed: you catch the broken link, the wrong UTM, and the off‑brand button before a customer does.
• Bias for action and fast moving, without ever letting the brand look unfinished.
• Recruiting, staffing, or HR‑tech familiarity is a plus.

We can offer you:

• Flexible work hours, we’re focused on results
• Plenty of opportunities to learn and wear lots of hats
• Startup life – flexible, relaxed, yet high stakes work environment
• Awesome coworkers who care about their work and each other
• Competitive benefits including:
• Paid parental leave
• Flexible spending and dependent care accounts
• Medical, Dental and Vision coverage
• 401k with company matching
• Long and short‑term disability insurance
• A generous paid leave policy, which includes up to 14 days of office holidays (including a company‑wide winter break)
• And for team members who excel, stock option grants.

Our Culture:

We’re entrepreneurial, passionate, and relentless about customer success. Everyone on the team talks and works directly with customers. Period. We share a collective passion for success, but not at any cost. We are striving to build an amazing product and a great business. This is no trivial task, and we lean on each other as we iterate our way to success. We value transparency, passion, effort, results, and growth.

We very much look forward to hearing from you, seeing your portfolio and reading over your cover letter that explains how you are a perfect fit for our company and this opportunity.
